Enterprise Platforms
Some mandates have no product that fits them. A regulator, a land registry, a licensing authority or a public utility runs on rules specific to its statute, and the honest answer is a platform built to those rules rather than a package bent around them.
What makes this different
The first question is always whether a bespoke platform is warranted. Frequently it is not, and the better outcome is configuring something that exists. Where it is warranted, it is usually because the rules are statutory, the data is sovereign, or the process has no commercial analogue — and those three conditions are worth testing explicitly before anyone writes code.
Integration is the majority of the work. A new platform lands in an estate of existing systems, some of which are decades old, undocumented, and still authoritative for data the new system needs. Treating that estate as a design constraint from the first week, rather than an integration phase at the end, is the difference between a platform that launches and one that is still in parallel run two years later.
The deliverable is not only software. A public body has to be able to run, change and eventually re-procure the thing without depending on the original supplier — so documentation, source ownership, deployment runbooks and the transfer of working knowledge are part of the engagement rather than a courtesy at the end.
What an engagement delivers
- Build-versus-configure assessment
- Domain model and architecture
- Integration and migration plan
- The platform itself, with source ownership
- Deployment and operations runbooks
- Capability transfer to in-house teams
Scope
What the capability covers.
The groups an implementation is scoped and phased against. Most engagements start with two or three and add the rest once the first is in service.
Discovery & rules capture
Turning statute, policy and institutional memory into something implementable.
- Mandate and statutory analysis
- Rules and decision capture
- Stakeholder and user research
- Current-state system audit
- Build-versus-configure assessment
Architecture & data model
A domain model shaped by the rulebook rather than by a framework’s defaults.
- Domain and data modelling
- Authority and permission architecture
- Audit and record design
- Deployment topology
- Scalability and resilience planning
Integration
Meeting the existing estate where it is, including the parts nobody documented.
- Legacy system integration
- Data migration and reconciliation
- API and event interfaces
- Identity and directory federation
- Interoperability standards
Deployment & sovereignty
Running where the law requires it to run.
- On-premise and data-centre deployment
- Sovereign and national cloud
- Air-gapped and restricted networks
- Backup, recovery and continuity
- Environment and release management
Handover & capability
Leaving the organization able to run and change it without us.
- Source ownership and documentation
- Deployment and operations runbooks
- Administrator and developer enablement
- Support and escalation model
- Re-procurement readiness
Approval chains
The processes this capability digitizes.
Each is a real chain of desks with a delegation rule and a record at every step, modelled as a workflow rather than as a form.
Procurement
A requisition that has to clear a budget line before it moves.
- Requisition
- Technical specification
- Budget check
- Approving Authority
- Work order
- Receipt and record
Administrative request
The general chain everything else falls back to.
- Request submitted
- Branch verification
- Administration
- Approving officer
- Decision recorded
- Applicant informed
